CONTEMPORARY DESIGN HIDDEN at the end of the driveway and surrounded by mature landscaped gardens, this outstanding double storey weatherboard residence is truly breathtaking. The original heritage home has been superbly preserved with 1920s period detailing and attention to quality is paramount in the design and decor. The versatile floor plan gives many layout options. The main entrance opens to a formal lounge and library which is warmed by an open fire that is framed by a timber mantle.
Gleaming hardwood floors throughout complement the many period features. The kitchen has timeless appeal, featuring an island bench with generous storage, Bosch appliances and country style ceramic sink. It overlooks a private courtyard, French doors open onto a timber deck and slate paved outdoor entertainment area. The new owners will be able to enjoy the light-filled family room with ceiling-to-floor glass windows.
This opens into the studio and more French doors give access to an appealing verandah area. The established gardens, pathways and steps lead to hidden areas which contain a wide variety of plantings that are often found in typical hills gardens, but also include many rare and unusual specimens. They are connected by stone walls and wide stone steps. The herb garden, adjacent to the kitchen, as well as a hen house, add to the selfsufficient charm.
